One approach I can think of to this is to have the end users insert their job request into a table. Then you have a SQL job that runs every...

As far as I know, you can't have it export from SSRS INTO an existing Excel file. If you can, I'd be curious to know how that was done and...

@Grant Fritchey - pretty sure it is a cross database query (use db2, select from db1), so it should be using the same set of data and data structure, but...

While I agree with Jeff in the sense that "if the system is designed in one way, why change it to work a different way", I think I would not...

To add to what Jeff said, provide us some sample code for what you have tried too. Looking at it though I do have a question about the results -...

Like most things in the tech-world - authentication is required AND something you would want set up. You don't want just any random person who can access your SSRS server...

My opinion, this is a horrible way to store your data. Why wouldn't you store the data inputs as their own bits of data?

What I mean is why would your...

Probably a dumb question, but is there anything interesting in the windows event logs apart from the "application" log? What I mean is, is there anything interesting under System or...
